- merkan, which in the disgusting epoch of orangeoaf, maga, & their repulsive rwnj hatreds, day by day offends my sense of morality by vicariously making me feel complicit in their outrages by using ANY merkan product or service [all others of which i have already rejected]
- IBM & redhat general shitfuckery
- fedora's recent active drift into the claws of #GenAI, which i deplore with a visceral passion 🤬

so, i am wondering about doing yet another installation on lappy, to replace kinoite [i have run many many different ​​ on it since first removing its win7 in 2014], but this time with a definitely not merkan system. ofc there's various other penguins i could use... & tonight i decided to go for it, ergo, as i write this [on Tower], Lappy's nice-to-use but sadly-merkan ​​ kinoite is being wiped & replaced by ​​ #SparkyLinux Semi-Rolling Testing, ​​ ​​ .

Per that linked post above, i had briefly contemplated #BSD for Lappy, but for now i've decided not, as i fear i'm still not grown up enough for the responsibility! 🤪

tis so damn weird!

longterm pattern continues

​​ #Floorp runs very nicely on my proper pooter, 2015 tower running ​​ ​​ ​​, ​​ kinoite, & ​​ cinnamon. i7 cpu with integrated gpu

otoh ​​ is unviable on my pretend pooter, 2011 dell xps 15 running ​​ kinoite, due to driving the cpu% nuts, & thus also the fan. i5 cpu with NVIDIA GeForce GT 420M gpu

i keep forgetting this, as i usually use ​​ on both pooters, but every now & then change to ​​ for a while... which is generally a nice UX on tower, & terrible on lappy as noted. reverting to #FirefoxNightly on lappy instead of Floorp makes the cpu & fan happy again.

so weird 😮🤯

#LinuxWomen

for the whole life of the ​​ fork ​​ i have been intrigued by it & very frequently browser-hopped back & forth twixt ​​ and ​​ . today, with the advent of v12.13.0 i have done another hop, not only but primarily to enjoy the better #SplitView capability compared to ​​ ... up to 4 tabs can be split, & we can choose vertical, horizontal, or grid split layout.

i have now dumped #rustdesk, ergo tis back to #anydesk for my periodic #RemoteAccess to support dad's pooter

i cannot handle the tough new usage policy restrictions the RD peeps have deployed

bwaaaaah 😥

oh that's easy

How far behind is each major Chromium browser?Answer: years & years & years

they still can't show multiple PiPs, still can't support treed tabs, still can't use proper uBO, still can't...

ps: yes yes, i know that's not what the questioner meant, but it was impossible not to pluck the very low hanging fruit. fuck google!

as the sunniness of da sunroom is now beginning to decline, as per normal diurnal cycle, i be gonna soonish decamp back to da study where prolly the worst of da icicles might have thawed by now [a tad afore noon], thar to be back onto Proper Pooter, in lieu of sunroom's Pretend Pooter [ie, merely a 2011 lappy].

on said ProP i be gonna make a list of all my ​​ #archlinux #AUR pkgs installed, then cross-match them to pkg availability in say ​​ #Debian #Sid n ​​ #Fedora #Rawhide . if i get a reasonably high correlation, i then be gonna install such pkgs in Sid or Rawhide #Distroboxes, & uninstall them from AUR.

why?

1. tis getting pretty tiring with all the now-sadly-frequent #DDoS attacks on the poor ol' AUR
2. though i am rigorous in inspecting the #PKGBUILD for each prospective pkg before proceeding to install from AUR, i must admit i am largely pathetic in bothering to do #diffs of them before each subsequent update
3. as a congenitally depressed #misanthropist who views the sour state of this wretched rock around her with its apparently nonstop rise in malicious arseholery & shitfuckery, i pessimistically expect increasing probability of AUR becoming an attack vector, so in such gloomy scenario i judge sticking to official #repos likely to be a saner choice for me given my #2

#TIL that now in :firefoxnightly: & thus i intuit also ff-beta...

bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.…

Verified fixed with Firefox 150.0b1 on Windows 11, macOS 15, and Ubuntu 24 that a Split View is successfully created when using Alt/Opt + clicking a tab with a different selected tab.

the bugger-factor though is that this is a native FF function, thus atm anyway is not available in AOs #Sidebery & #TreeStyleTab -- thus if using either, one needs to also still have access to the native tabs. In :firefoxnightly: i do that via a script that moves the native horizontal tab strip to the bottom, then autohides it. Meanwhile [depending on which Profile i'm using] for general browsing i use TST or S on the LHS.
